Axis Newbie

This is somewhat related to Paul's question about UDDI, but I'm hoping
someone will point me in the right direction to solve my problem.

I have been searching everywhere for toolkits and API's that will let me do
UDDI queries and parse WSDL files into an object model.

For a while, I was using the MS toolkits because we were doing our
investigation on a Windows platform.  The UDDI piece was OK and the WSDL
piece was OK as long as you weren't reading WSDL's discovered via UDDI (no
<services> element).

We're now interesting in doing some Java-based work and I'm looking for
replacement toolkits.  IBM's WSTK does the trick but is not a licensable
product.  I just learned about Axis and was wondering if it would solve my
problem.  Obviously, the answer to Paul's question means I'm out of luck wrt
UDDI, but I'd like to know if Axis has something like a WSDLReader that will
parse a WSDL file and let me programmatically get information about
operations and messages?

Has anyone else had a similar problem?  Any and all information would be
greatly appreciated.

I'm currently looking at JAXR as a UDDI API - I'll let you know if it's
any good.

Axis NewbieBrenda,
 You can achieve this using wsdl4j.jar bundled with axis. 
or.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java.java will give a better explanation.

Hi Brenda,

maybe you should look at wsdl4j which is included in axis. I don´t know any
url for wsdl4j. The only thing I know is that it does the job you need and
it was created by ibm and meanwhile it´s opensource (´but I´m not sure).

Hope this helps
Stefan
